Sheffield Admin Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 4:13AM Imagine The Stylehound's surprise the other day when my friend, Daisy, said she wanted to get new linens for her bedroom and wanted my help.

Sheffield Admin Tuesday, October 7, 2008 at 4:49AM I’d like to invite you all to a wedding. It’s big, it’s splashy, it’s got loads of laughter and music and that other element necessary in any wedding: family drama.

And you don’t want to use a string bag and worry if the little things like dental floss or tiny bottles of eye cream will be lost along the way.
Sheffield Admin Monday, September 22, 2008 at 4:51AM For anyone who’s bored with the ol’ humdrum in home furnishings, or for anyone who’s tired of the beige-on-beige look, check this out, as seen on 2modernblogs.
